Travelling in Europe

Before going on a trip, you need to plan it: check out discount cards, travel guides and travelling portals.

Travelling Portals

Your Europe website gives you plenty of information to start planning your trip: practicalities about the necessary documents, your rights as a passenger in the European Union, what you can take with you on your trip, how to deal with money issues and how to keep safe on your journey.

Visit Europe helps you discover Europe's transport options, like rail networks, cruise options and airlines. You can also explore the best leisure activities, whether you prefer parties, culture or nature and share your own trip or read others’ travel stories around Europe.

Let's Go is a travel guide written entirely by students for students, gathers together 53 years of hard information on how to plan your trip. Check out the free apps featuring thematic walking trips with offbeat places through the most beautiful European cities.
